Per the company, Fitzpatrick’s specific face milling served as a large inspiration for the company and became the base of the newest Roll Control Face, found on the 2021 Studio Stock Series.

Specs:

  • Model: DASS BB1 Flow Tour Dept.
  • Weight: 345 grams
  • Material: DASS (Double Aged Stainless Steel)
  • Finish: Tour Blast/Glacier Black
  • Face Milling: Prototype Roll Control Face

Speaking on the signing of Fitzpatrick, Robert Bettinardi said

“We couldn’t be more proud to have such a talented golfer to be a part of the Bettinardi Tour staff. It means the world to have a renowned professional like Matt trust the craftsmanship and quality of a Bettinardi in his hand on the biggest stage in golf. Matt’s trust in our company speaks volumes to our passion in crafting the world’s best putters with tight quality controls to meet the demands of the world’s best players.”

The ‘SUFC’ stamping on the Bettinardi putter reflects Fitzpatrick’s love for his hometown football club Sheffield United, as does the blades insignia in the club’s colors on the face of the flat-stick.

Fitzpatrick is joining a staff of many other PGA TOUR professionals, including Matt Kuchar and CJ Cup champion Jason Kokrak and will be playing the putter this week at the DP World Tour Championship.

“Adding Matthew Fitzpatrick to Team Bettinardi is absolutely huge for our brand and further proves that Bettinardi putters are second to none when it comes to quality and craftsmanship. Meeting the strict demands of arguably one of the best putters in the world is a true testament to Bettinardi Golf and our team of highly talented engineers who worked extremely hard to perfect a face milling and putter head that Matt requested,” – Executive Vice President Sam Bettinardi

    Agree…first thought is YES putter. MF must be a big fan. Will be interesting to see where his Talent/Skill comments fall now with callouts to BD, big hitter.

      That face is also not seen in Betts 2021 line up unless they are using it slightly different, but Stock doesnt look like that.

    I just love my GINA YES putter, I would never give this baby up, and you can still buy YES putters on eBay at very reasonable prices, mine was in mint condition £60, I refuse to pay extortionate prices of over £300 for a putter.

    Bankrupcy in 2010, but they are coming back in 2021. I can’t wait, hoping they make some nice simple designs as they did in the past. Please no more of the yellow plastic putters or groove-tube junk…

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
